Tastes like homemade
I had my doubts about soup from a box, but I was pleasantly surprised. Someone even thought it was homemade.

Good new product!
I enjoy Progresso's soups, so I'm always eager to try their new flavors. The chipotle corn chowder is pretty tasty, with just the right amount of heat.

A healthy option
I really love soup so I was excited to try this progresso soup out. I chose the Hearty Lentil flavor as I love lentil soup. I had a weird experience with this soup, however. First, it comes in a box. You are to bend, fold and tear the top of the carton off. I loved this idea because you could open it anywhere--no scissors or can opener required. However, the cardboard wouldn't tear for me and I ended up using scissors to open it. Upon opening I emptied it into a carton and smelled a strong herb flavor/scent. I tried some on a spoon and gagged...it was very herb-y tasting...so strong it was overpowering. I was going to eat this for dinner and also serve it to my daughter but knew she would not eat it with the overpowering flavor. So, we ate something different. I put the soup in a bowl and kept it overnight in the fridge. The next morning I spooned some out to send with my husband for lunch and did not smell the strong flavor, and could not taste it either. So, I was able to eat some of it later and it is very tomato based and is a hearty, lentil based soup. I liked it. I am not sure what happened with my experience. The ingredients listed include thyme and that is the only herb I can say was so strong. I am not sure why it was so strong and then faded? Later you could not taste that flavor anymore where initially it was gaggingly overpowering. Strange. I think this soup was ok. My experience with it was so-so. I value Progresso as a brand and I think they make quality soups. I am not sure I would try this kind again, however. I will be watching to see other's reviews on this product to see if my experience was unique.

Great soup - like at a sandwich shop
I had the chipotle corn chowder and it was very good. One box is qty 2 - 1 cup servings. I felt like it was like something you'd get in a delicious bread bowl at a sandwich shop. Thick and flavorful. The hardest part was opening the package. The directions are very specific yet I still had a hard time realizing that you reall do sort of pinch the top corners in once you lift the flap. The top pops up to sort of form a long triangle, and it is very easy to fold the seams back and forth and rip open. I do like that essentially the whole top opens to allow you to get every last drop out.

Flavourful soup, not too strong
Flavour was really nice, easy to warm on the stove. Amount was pretty small, only enough for 2 small bowls.

Interesting new flavor combo
I tried Progresso's Good Natured Soup Corn Chowder flavor and it was an interesting mix of traditional corn chowder with a mexican twist. It was flavorful and well seasoned but for some reason it wasn't my favorite. But my roommate tried a bowl and loved it! My only complaint is I wish it was larger than just two servings.

A great rich soup
The taste of this Progresso Good Natured Soup is just great. I tried the Hearty Tomato with Spinach & Roasted Garlic flavor. It is very creamy and has a smooth texture and is very filling. I love that it is non-GMO, doesn't have any artificial ingredients and that it a vegan soup. It has a mild rich flavor and is not too spicy. You can eat it just a soup but it is easy to use it as a dinner with some nice French bread and a salad. It is so easy to prepare so if you need a quick meal this soup is a great choice. I am definitely going to try the other flavors too! I highly recommend this soup.

Love the flavor and texture!
I chose the Hearty Tomato. I loved that it was non-GMO and had no added MSG etcetera. I also loved that it came in a tetra pak so no BPA in my soup. The flavor was delicious. I liked that it was only a little sweet with layers of garlic and a little sharpness from the spinach and celery. A nice complex flavor. I also loved the texture, with chunks of tomato and bits of spinach. It made the soup feel like a meal in itself. I can't wait to try more flavors.

Great tasting vegetarian soup
Great tasting and packed with real vegetables that you can see and taste. A hearty vegan soup. I wish it had organic ingredients.

Very good soup
Very Good soup. Convenient packaging, easy to open and tasted good. Has other varieties I would try

Pretty good for soup-aisle soup.
I find most soup in the soup aisle to be thin, lacking enough ingredients to make a hearty meal. I usually add veggies and even pasta or rice. This soup was good, not great, in that regard.

Yummy soup
This is easy to store, tastes delicious and is healthy for my family. I will be purchasing this soup again and trying other flavors.

Great tasty vegan soup
I never tried progresso good natured soup so I didn't expect too much. To my pleasant surprise, this turned out to be one of the best vegan soups I've ever had. This soup has excellent source of vitamins and minerals, deliciously smooth texture. It tastes great and has the perfect amount of heat. The only complaint I have is its high sodium content. 1 box has 2 serving, and it has 28% sdium per serving. So if you consume the entire box, you are getting 56% daily recommended sodium. Also I could not find this specific kind at my local groceries so I had to order online. Besides that, I highly recommend this soup.

Great Taste
This soup had a great texture and flavor. However, I am not too sure I like the packaging as the box was slightly difficult to open.

Something off in the flavor
I just did not like the flavor of this soup. There was something off about it, tasting a bit like mold.
Verified member
Tasty Soup!
I really loved the Progesso Good Natured soup because it's delicious and healthy. I was a little wary because usually organic and healthy in foods doesn't always translates to tasty, but this one sure did! I liked the rich flavor combination and how surprisingly multi-dimensional it was in flavor profile. I liked the convenience of a carton of soup that was easy to heat up to eat. Definitely a re-buy!

Taste good
This soup is Non-GMO, Vegan, . Only 150 calories per serving. I know what everything is in the ingredients list. I think it tasted really good.
Verified member
Great nutritional values
I liked this soup. My children liked this soup, which I was completely surprised at. I'm a big tomato soup fan, but this soup had a pronounced basil aspect and the pureed bean gave it an odd texture. But I like the fiber the bean provided and that it was a natural fiber source. All in all, a good choice for soup.
Verified member
Non-GMO soup
I liked the packaging of this soup and it was very good compared to similar soups. Not sure if this is because of the non-GMO, but regardless it had a very good flavor.
Verified member
Liked the quality, but taste too strong for me
This soup sounded really appealing and I liked all the natural things about it. I tried the lentil soup. But for me the soup had such a powerful, almost concentrated taste. I think I would like it more if the strength of flavor was toned down. I found myself wishing I had a cup of rice to throw in it. Next time I try it I will do that. I think that would make the soup great.
Verified member
Good and hearty
I liked this Progresso Good Natured Soup. It was heartier than the usual tomato soup I have purchased and more flavorful. The package is too small to serve my family of 4, but is great for a lunch for me or a side to a main meal. I wish the sodium content weren't as high as it is, but it is a healthy option because it is vegan and doesn't contain any GMOs or preservatives. I look forward to trying some of the other varieties and hope they make these in larger sizes for the family.

Heat and Eat
The soup contained quality ingredients. I especially liked the charred corn kernels. But I found the soup a little more bland than expected. It was easy to open and heat and eat which was convenient.
Verified member
Chunky Tomato
Progresso Good Natured Soup was indeed very hearty. If you like a hearty, chunky tomato soup this is the soup for you. Big chunks of tomato and spinach this was a very tasty, filling soup.
Verified member
Tasty and flavorful soup
The Hearty Corn Chowder variety is both hearty and flavorful. The right balance of spices yield a delicious soup.

A soup as good for the enviroment as it is for you
The aroma was pleasant as soon as I opened the package. Texture was nice and smooth. Taste was delicious. lots of corn and sweet peppers, with a slight spicy pepper bite. I loved that this has added health benefits, yet tastes completely satisfying.
Verified member
Not as spicy as I expected
The "hearty corn and chipotle chowder" I purchased was thinner and less spicy than I expected from the name. There was a lot of visible corn, but the overall soup wasn't much like a chowder and there was none of the nice heat you expect from chipotle. On the whole, not bad but also not something I'd be likely to buy again.
Verified member
Great taste
This soup was delicious and healthy! I tried the hearty tomato and it was such a refreshing soup! While it still has a lot of additives, I thought for a convenience product it was definitely a cut above the rest.

Delicious Hearty Soup!
I packed a carton of soup for lunch, hoping for the best. Progresso Good Natured didn't disappoint! It was incredibly hearty and filling. This soup tasted different from the other soups -- I'm thinking that it's probably because it's organic and fresher than the other soups? Whatever the case, the Progresso Good Natured soup hit the spot and was really satisfying. I really like how it's non-GMO and really healthy. It helps me to stay on track for my diet.

Pretty good soup
I did buy TOMATO WITH SPINACH AND ROASTED GARLIC. I liked how thick the soup was! Filling and pretty good tasting. I liked it a lot when I started to eat it, but after about half of the bowl it did start tasting a lil bitter in back of my neck. I think it would be great for example with grilled cheese sandwiches but by itself it is a lil to harsh
Verified member
Delicious!
I was given a chance to try Progresso Good Natured Soup-Hearty Tomato. It was very delicious. I liked the amount of vegetables in the soup. I like the idea the soup is all natural and non GMO. The taste was just right. I recommend this soup to everyone.

Great flavor and texture
The Progresso Good Natured Hearty Corn & Chipotle Chowder soup was very good. It had a good texture and wonderful corn flavor with a slight kick. It is easy to store and easy to fix for a quick meal.

Tasty soup
This is a very good tasting soup.it is thick and hearty with a lot of healthy ingredients and fiber. It is a cut above usual Progresso offerings. However, as the packaging is not recyclable I may not purchase it again.

Expected More
The soup was just okay, I was expecting it to be more favorable and chunky with veggies. It was kind of disappointing for a Progresso soup.
Verified member
Delicious and Hearty!
This soup reminded me a lot of Campbell's To Go with Red Pepper and Gouda which is my favorite soup of all time. It's delicious with hearty chunks of tomato in it. The bigger chunks of spinach were off putting by looks, but we were all unable to pick them out by taste. My kids dislike soup, I think because of how plain it is, but they absolutely loved it.
Verified member
Not as good as I expected
I didn't like the texture of the soup. It was too thick and tasted like paste or flour. I also expected there to be alot more items in the soup. I only got a few peppers and pieces of corn.

Progresso Good Natue Soups are OK
I tried Progresso's Good Nature Soup and they are ok. I tried the Hearty Tomato and it was a good soup for a cold day since it is a comfort food. Though it is not good as their can soup which costs less.
Verified member
healthy, hearty
I always am looking for 'ready to eat' foods to have prepared that are healthy for me to have as a nice dinner when I'm lazy or don't have time after work. I actually ate this after coming home from a flight and I really liked it. I bought the lentil flavour because I have iron deficiency and I like to try new ways to get extra iron in me that is healthy, low fat, and hearty. This soup was really tasty and it was so easy to use. I like the box because I could take it to the office and not need a can opener.

slightly better than average but not a good value
I'm always looking for quick and easy soup options to bring for lunch. I was pretty excited to try this and it was pretty tasty, but it was almost $3 for a pretty small box of soup. There is a company called Bear Creek that I really enjoy because it is one of the tastiest and easiest soups that tastes homemade for $3 (it makes about 8 cups and you just add water). This soup was better than canned soup or the microwave Campbells soups that I occasionally buy, but this was not the best value.

A Soup for the Whole Family
I was excited to try Progresso's Good Natured Soup and it did not disappoint. It is packed with flavor, creamy, and vegan (who knew!?!) It is so filling that it can easily stand alone as a meal. My whole family enjoyed this soup, even my children who are picky-eaters! The flavor combinations are smart - the hearty tomato worked well with spinach & roasted garlic. I'm excited to try the other varieties and will definitely be repurchasing the Hearty Tomato!
Verified member
Basic and somewhat lacking in flavor
I was really looking forward to trying this soup since they had some interesting flavors that I like. I bought the corn chowder and although it was good, it wasn't great. I had to add a little hot sauce and salt to give it a little extra kick. I think if you're looking forward to a mild, basic soup that is low in calories and natural, then this is the one for you. If you don't mind doctoring it up, then this soup works as well. I would definitely buy again as long as it was on sale or if i had some coupons.

Delicious and Comforting
This soup tastes so good! I like tomato soup anyway but the addition of the spinach makes it even better (as it adds both nutrition and a little extra texture) and the roasted garlic adds just the right amount of spice without being overpowering. The consistency is nice and creamy and pairs perfectly with a good grilled cheese sandwich--perfect for a chilly night. I will definitely be purchasing this again.

Not quite homemade but still good
I thought that the soup tasted good (I had the tomato one) but it wasn't the best I ever had. I did like the convenience of it. I took it to work with me and just dumped it in a bowl and heated it up. Everyone at work kept asking me about it and said it smelled great.

Good corn soup
I like soup, so I tried this soup. I got the corn variety with peppers and it was very good although a little thick for my taste. The flavor was great , fresh corn taste with some heat from the peppers, but nor too much ( but I like spicy food). The price was a lot more than I normally would pay for soup, but overall, it was a good tasty warmup.
Verified member
Great taste and fast to make
The flavor is good. It is a bit spicy but the flavors are really good. It goes great with tortilla chips.

An interesting Progresso product
This soup was delicious! I loved the hearty texture and full-bodied flavor. I recommend trying this product.

disappointed
I was a little disappointed in this soup. I didn't like the taste. I did like the fact that it is all natural, but I won't buy it again. Also, I thought it was more difficult to get the soup out of the box rather than out of a can.
Verified member
Homemade taste
I was really impressed with the way that this had a lot of texture and taste. I like the fact that it had a homemade taste to it and you could definitely notice the more high-quality ingredients. You could also see the different herbs and ingredients right in the soup

Yummy:)) Very good soup.
The Progresso Good Natured Hearty Corn and Chipotle Chowder was delicious; great flavor, easy to heat up, convenient packaging--boxed instead of can; basically a very healthy soup with the exception of being a bit high in sodium--600mg per serving; it didn't taste too salty; it's a bit pricey at $2.99 for soup, but I will definitely purchase it again when I want a treat.

Progresso Good Natured Soup Is Just That
I loved my heaty serving of Progresso Good Natured Soup in Corn & Chipotle Chowder. Tasted homemade, but without the work. So nice to have in the pantry!
Verified member
great tasting soup with a kick
This soup was a little hard to find but I'm glad I did. In my experience, Progresso tends to have thinner soups and I prefer thicker ones. This was a good middle ground. I liked the corn chowder with chipotle as it added a little extra flavor.

Disgusting taste. Threw it out!
I bought the hearty lentil and garden vegetable box of soup (very very small box for $3) It was enough for one serving. As soon as I poured the icky brown bean mess into the bowl to microwave it, this horrible smell came from the box. It was (as I read the ingredients, a combination of thyme, cumin and Cayenne pepper.) I heated the soup as directed, and with the first bite spit the whole thing out. It had the consistency and color of baked beans, with hard pieces of thyme. I found few vegetables that we're supposed to be there- carrots, celery, and peppers. I'm not sure how this passed taste testing. Blech!

Not bad but not enough
For the price vs size of this product I expected to be wowed. I was disappointed. The flavor ok but it was filling. Would have been nice to get multiple servings out of the box. At least enough for 2 adults with a salad.
